Congratulations Piq, I seem to have missed your debt and mortgage freedom whilst I was awol having the little lady xxx

Having a baby excuses you from most things :rotfl:Have you surfaced yet?

Oh great news, Piq - am so glad to read Captain will soon be arriving at his new home, and bringing his friend too!
You sound very well prepared..

I do seem to be organised on it all, it's something that I feared would never happen so it's very exciting and daunting at the same time. The responsibility for two horses is immense, hence the organising

Have you told Colin yet!!:rotfl:

My cat years ago loved to get in the stable with the horse, and snuggle up in the hay or straw.

Hope it all goes well with the move back

Haven't mentioned it to him at all. He'll only try to eat their food

I paused a while, but I couldn't imagine Colin snuggling down in the straw. The not-a-conventional-cat part of him is just too strong in the picture I have of him.
Captain and Noah would be pointing out a mouse in the manger with their ears and Colin would be watching their ears flicking instead...

Come now, poor Colin will be terrified:rotfl:Just wait until Roger the rooster challenges him :eek: Colin is going to run a mile in a very wobbly fashion! You've got it right on the ear flicking and watching. The only mouse Colin ever gets is another cat's leftover. Which is why he was playing with a mouse with rigor mortis the other day...

Evening shifts this week However, I have booked a blood test, blood pressure test and a plumber. I hasten to add the plumber has nothing to do with my waterworks, all okay there, he's coming to install an outside tap on Thursday. There's not much point in starting up a new garden with no way of watering it. I'm already bored with filling the washing up bowl to water the pots that came here with me

A NSD today. Dinner will be had at work, therefore free. Lunch from the freezer, homemade soup. I've moved 2.91 and 5.49 across to savings, that being savings from padlock buying yesterday and the daily tidy up of the account. It effortlessly saves money doing a bank tidy up everyday. I've put away over 500.00 without trying this year already. I used to do it to pay off my debts now it goes away for me! I also put away my overdraft fee and feel quite smug about it, the bank no longer gets 20.00 a month!

£500! Excellent progress Piq..

You seem to do a good line in HM soup...we have let that slip recently but do need to start making that for lunches again

Enjoy the countdown before the boys come home

I got called back to the doctors as my DIY blood pressure test was too high. Funnily enough once the stress of not having to do it my self was removed my blood pressure was normal!

Friday is blood test day and I'm going to have to fast for eleven hours:eek: I may be missing awhile......

DIY BP testing is *supposed* to remove the stress!!! Hmm - don't think so. Good luck with the 11 hour fasting - the thought of it makes me feel malnourished! (I'm not, by the way!!)
Anyway, it's all good to get done and you will be fully fit for horsey duties. Oh dear, poor Colin will miss having your undivided attention.

I don't have to fast until eleven tonight. Plenty of time to eat yet :rotfl:

The two outside taps were fitted today £150 later I can't find the hose. It must have got left behind in the move

Looks like the boys are coming home on Wednesday :eek:I'm so looking forward to having them back.

Whoo Hoo! Less than a week! . . . And the weather's looking good too.

Soon you will be able to settle in your perfect new horsey and debt free life. Breathe and relax!

What great news about the boys coming to their new home, so pleased for you.:T

£150 for two taps? Wow, sounds like he didn't give you a second tap discount! Mine - singular - cost £63 three years ago; I was told he charged more than most would, but also guaranteed his work.
